Halldenius explores Wollstonecraft’s political philosophy, focusing on her treatment of republicanism and independence, to propose a new way of reading her work – that of a ‘feminist republican’. Wollstonecraft’s works of fiction

We consider the effect of symbol rate on the constrained capacity of linear modulation with a fixed spectral density. We show that constrained capacity grows with the symbol rate for some modulation pulses but shrinks with others. Sufficient conditions on the pulse are derived for the constrained capacity to be monotonically increasing with faster symbol rate. Most standard pulses fulfill these.

Denna rapport är en fristående och diskuterande fortsättning på rapporten Spel som lust och träning (2009), som redogjorde för projektet SpelTID.
